Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
if you work hard and appreciate everything you're given here, it's worth every penny.
Cassandra from Weldon, NC
You get a lot for your money! I would also say don't let the price scare you away, because there are ways that you can make it affordable through grants and scholarships.
Jordan from Fries, VA
The tuition here is broadcasted as being a lot more than it actually is. Getting financial aid and scholarships is incredibly easy, and all in all you'd be surprised to learn you actually pay less than a third of what the tuition is. And with all the things you can do on and around campus, its hard to say it isn't worth it.
Brandon from Upper Darby, PA
College is voluntary and expensive. You have gained independence, you are in a new place, and your adult life is gradually beginning. Managing your own time is vital to balance responsibilities and set priorities. There will be moral and ethical decisions you may have never faced before and it is your job to stay on top of things. That is 33,000 dollars a year that can be wasted partying, failing classes, being in the wrong major or making the best of it. So many young adults go into copious amounts of debt for degrees that will not help them get a career. Schedules tend to look lighter than they actually are, so pick and choose classes wisely. You are expected to take responsibility for what you do and do not do, as well as for the consequences of your decisions. College is not guided, and professors will not remind you of due dates, incomplete work or initiate contact if you need assistance. College is a learning environment in which you take responsibility and apply what you have learned, but it's all worth it if you put in the effort.
Thelma from Charlotte, NC
The college is kind of pricey but for the amount of money you are paying you do get something out of the experience. However, if you do not find your major or the school does not have what you need, then I would consider transferring or not going. The school is expanding in programs, but they need to get started first. The college is pricey when all payments are broken down and calculated, so make sure you want something Lees McRae has to offer before you pay the money.
